Totally agree! Most"high end collectors" on here seem to primarily have AP's and Patek. For me, the vintages are the ones that really appeal. They somehow feel like hey have more character. I enjoyed this pisode more than I have any other so far.
Love this guy's enthusiasm and passion. Unlike many athlete's who just want watches for the 'bling' factor, he's very knowledgeable and likes the quality and history of vintage. Top man Howie, much respect!
Out of all the talking watches I enjoy this one most. Chill, unpretentious, well-spoken guy. Great collection that shows off a genuine interest and personal style rather than just wealth.
As a British guy with no knowledge of the baseball world, this was a really great interview. What an interesting, humble and thoughtful chap. Watch Talk feels like a way to “meet” people from other walks of like that otherwise I would never have exposure to.
thereign What bob probably means is that bald muscular men are not often associated with watch/vintage watches. I have a military haircut and do powerlifting 5 times a week, when at a watchmeet or anything vitage related people dont expect to see someone looking like me there
Great piece here, the smiles throughout his watch collection were genuine and heartfelt. It's wonderful to see an athlete with an understanding of the 'why' behind the prices we collectors pay for our beloved timekeepers. He comes across as knowledgeable and passionate. First class collection. Almost an old Hollywood feel to this gent. Brava.
Plastic Hooks For watches to be only accesible to the top 1%, each piece would have to be worth approximately 20 mil. Other than that the watches in the video and other talking watches episodes are quite affordable.
I feel like these are videos for watch lovers in general. Because they show the watches in detail and talk about why they are interested in it. It is not about showing you product you should buy. It is about sharing something interesting and it is fun to watch. Also, I am just a regular guy who has his finances in order but works hard for every penny. And those watches are attainable if I wanted one.
@@arjunthakkar5383 Sorry, what I meant was that they are relatively affordable for the entry level rich and even some upper middle class people. To say that these pieces are only accessible to the top 1% is grossly false.
This guy exudes cool from every pore. I love the fact that he knows even the small details of his watches and why he's purchased them. Also, I'm a Leica fan as well. Great camera and also great history behind the brand. My only advice would be to buy an M6 and start shooting some B&W film!
I really enjoyed this video thanks!.. Howie is a real thoughtful and intelligent guy, and you have to love his honest and unpretentious taste. He also knows exactly what he's buying, why, and what's inside which you have to respect.
This man is a multiple talent. Great athlete, beautiful photographs and lovely watches with interesting stories behind them. It's just so inspiring to watch. 👍
It's obvious his parents military background effects the style of watches he likes, almost every watch he owns has a military connection including that Panerai on his wrist
Man, what a down to earth guy. He has such a warm and honest collection as well. Fantastic episode. I’d love to check back in with him all these years later and see how his collection has grown.
I didn’t know Howie, I became an instant fan. What a fine humble well spoken normal guy. Congrats to all of your success Brother. Great story teller thank you.
I was about to roll my eyes when he said, "shoot Leica only now," but I can't hate those photos. Solid work. I wouldn't look at this guys IG and guess he's as cool and down to earth as he seems here. Very cool, personal collection.
One of my Fave Talking watches episode. 3 years later, NLCS MVP, World Series Hero, World Series Champion!!!👏👏👏⚾️ This guy got game and knows his watches well. Classy and sophisticated!!!
Awesome episode gents. Love Howie's approach - not fussed if something is cheap or expensive or not, he just likes what he likes. I don't wear any watches with metal bracelets, always swapping over bands and leather straps so particularly enjoyed his collection.
The great thing about Talking Watches is that it makes celebrities instantly relatable. Their enthusiasm as hobbyists removes any airs their fame or wealth might confer. I love how sometimes they're even a little starstruck to be in the Hodinkee studios!
This is the best video Hodinkee has. Mayer is up there but I like this one the best and Howie. I’ve rewatched it tons of times but thing that I like most is we talk about the watch, then we get to see the watch by itself and then we see it ON his wrist. Like a demo. I wish every video was like that. It’s great. It got me into green leather straps and just a whole different view on the hobby after this video
Maybe one of the only people who would buy a 30k yacht master over a 450k minute repeater. Great episode, always see myself coming back to this one to watch again. Lovely collection. True gent.
Would enjoy seeing an update on Kendrick's collection. Sounds like a guy I would like to sit down and have a pop with. A really good ball player with an interesting story regarding his watch passion.
Leica photographer, baseball player, wears vintage Rolex on Natos. My kind of guy.
He is a rare kind of celebrity you could sit down with and have an actual conversation about normal people stuff.
Jake all I know is he just had 2 runs and 3 hits in the nlcs for my hometown nats 😎
@@jeeefthegreat7555 we don't speak broke here
This is by far the best talking watches. Howie is a decent chap and clearly very humble.
Totally agree! Most"high end collectors" on here seem to primarily have AP's and Patek. For me, the vintages are the ones that really appeal. They somehow feel like hey have more character. I enjoyed this pisode more than I have any other so far.
completely agree.
John Mayer is tied for first!
Love the fact that a guy like him really knows his watches. I mean, he knows what hes taking about!
dude is cool as fuck
Dude has great taste.
Love this guy's enthusiasm and passion. Unlike many athlete's who just want watches for the 'bling' factor, he's very knowledgeable and likes the quality and history of vintage. Top man Howie, much respect!
As I Giants fan, I hate how much I like Howie Kendrick now. Great interview!
Exactly...LOL
Certainly atypical for an athlete to have such a refined taste. Refreshing. Major points for the DSA.
I love how he refers to John Mayer as “One of the guys” from talking watches.
Out of all the talking watches I enjoy this one most. Chill, unpretentious, well-spoken guy. Great collection that shows off a genuine interest and personal style rather than just wealth.
Very honest, non-douchey episode.

Best episode by far; totally unexpected. A big tattooed person in thumbnail; Ultra kind knowledgeable tasteful and humble guy.
He's not particularly big, and what do tattoos have to do with anything?

Really like Howie's taste. Also seems to genuinely take pleasure in his simpler watches. Grounded dude.
Ben Jones .
One of the best watch videos I've seen on any channel. Kendrick is a true renaissance man -- and he shoots with a Leica Monochrom -- much respect.
Jays fan but very happy for Howie and his team tonight though, class act.
the best episode to me, thus far. such a humble guy who knows his stuff.
A man who's grail watch is a Datograph is a man I can respect.
One the few shows on youtube for the 1%. Maybe not this episode, humble dude, humble collection.
x kaarshe hardly. Most of Howie's watches are vintage and accessible to middle class folks.

wow, his photographs are stunning!
3 years later and Howie Kendrick is hitting grand slams in game 5 against his former team to reach the nlcs
This guy exudes cool from every pore. I love the fact that he knows even the small details of his watches and why he's purchased them. Also, I'm a Leica fan as well. Great camera and also great history behind the brand. My only advice would be to buy an M6 and start shooting some B&W film!
One of my favorite episodes of Talking Watches for sure. Such a humble, laid back guy.
Hands down, Howie has the best collection so far of all the guests that have been on the show. Beautiful stuff.
Yeah! You always do pick humble lovable people. Mr. Kendrick is fun to listen to! great photography!
I really enjoyed this video thanks!..

Love his unique style in staps. One of the coolest episodes!
This guy is great. A real renaissance man. Sports, art, culture....a man to admire.
Mr. Kendrick seems like such a good dude, regardless of his watch collection. Great episode! One of the best!
Best watch talk among the entire series. Salute
Love his taste.
Great collection, great conversation!
Like the small Omega RAF.
Have similar one ant it changed my persecution of watch sizes…
Thanks for sharing!
How have I just now stumbled on this channel! I've been fixing watches for 5 years now and this satisfies my interest in collecting greatly
Leica monochrome and some incredible vintage timepieces.....dude is livin my dream. LOL. Ohhhhhh, forgot to mention, a professional ballplayer
I didn’t know Howie, I became an instant fan. What a fine humble well spoken normal guy. Congrats to all of your success Brother. Great story teller thank you.
Totally the best episode so far! Great selection of watches
Forgot to talk about the Panerai on the wrist I suppose :/
And the 389 on the table
The bronzo!
did the same with John Mayer's gold daytona
I think they should re-shoot for those that have been forgotten :) I really wanna see them
It's a PAM 382 and its retail is around $11000. There was also a 389 on the table but no word about it either. :(
I was about to roll my eyes when he said, "shoot Leica only now," but I can't hate those photos. Solid work. I wouldn't look at this guys IG and guess he's as cool and down to earth as he seems here. Very cool, personal collection.

Watch collector and World Series star!
Who else has watched this episode and the John Mayer episode multiple times???? 👌🏻👌🏻
i am
The great thing about Talking Watches is that it makes celebrities instantly relatable. Their enthusiasm as hobbyists removes any airs their fame or wealth might confer. I love how sometimes they're even a little starstruck to be in the Hodinkee studios!

THANK YOU Ben, one more fenomenal collector.
This bloke really appreciates what tool watches were designed for. Brilliant episode, a one cool bloke.
Great episode!
Thinking about why I liked this video... This guy reminds me in a way why we are human. Touching. Also: great collection
What a great interview. Glad I started watching the older videos.
Howie is fascinating in this Talking Watches. Love his taste in watches and photography. What a cool dude.
What a great interview……this guy is amazing! So much talent and diversity. The photos are spectacular ❤️
Great taste
Really liked this episode! Ben is an excellent interviewer and Kendrick a vintage collector that I can relate to. Very cool gents!
This is one of my favorite episodes.
Man, what a cool dude
Totally fell in love with Howie, knows his stuff, humble guy, very honest, no pomp and flash.
Maybe one of the only people who would buy a 30k yacht master over a 450k minute repeater. Great episode, always see myself coming back to this one to watch again. Lovely collection. True gent.
He likes vintage larger models so I would definitely recommend an Omega Flightmaster!
Great guy and great collection 👍
Just came across this. Excellent episode
great guy. Clutch ball player. Now he's got a big ol monster world series ring to go with those beautiful watches. Kudos to Howie
Great collector
I like how his watches are mostly beat up, scratched military inspired models and how big of a nerd he is about cameras, too.
wow what a great video.Love this guy's collection. really humble
....love vintage watches. .....great Ep.
In the words of TGV "pure class"
What a great discussion with a pleasant, engaging person. Thanks for this.
Nice to see him staying in D.C. Would love to see a follow up with his collection too
Perhaps my favorite collection of any guest. Dig his utilitarian style.
Easily my favourite talking watches guest!
This collection epitomizes all the watches I’m interested in! Love the red submariner! Howie seems like a class act!
Great video! 👏 I love my Yacht-Master II too! Amazing crown indeed!
@hodinkee what brand is the watch strap he had on his Tudor and his Omega?
BACK IN 2020! LOVED HIS COLLECTION!
Best episode so far. Brilliant!!!
This is the best talking watches I’ve ever seen .... solid yellow gold
Nice collection and one of the best episode I've seen to date.
Beautiful collection of time pieces.
Would enjoy seeing an update on Kendrick's collection. Sounds like a guy I would like to sit down and have a pop with. A really good ball player with an interesting story regarding his watch passion.
this guy made me run into an antique watch store lol
Pankaj Ahuja stanced e30, really??......dude...........😔
What an absolute class act.
Absolutely loved each and every piece! The Man has a style. Great work by @hodinkee by finding these kind of unique collectors :)
Great guest. Just splendid
Wow, great vintage tool watch collection and Howie predicted the future on the return to smaller case trend.
This is one of the very best episodes
One of my favourite episodes
Fantastic guy! Howie, I’ll buy you a drink anytime and we can talk watches. Pro baseball player,watch collector and photographer. awesome!
I am now a Howie Kendrick fan. Great dude.
The SF Giants would approve of this Dodgers message
Fave episode in the series, great guy and great watches.
Second time watching. Great episode and collection. Kendrick seems like a great guy too.
These videos are pure class!
